Catch My Drift

Awesome, awesome, awesome. Went out this morning on the Catch My Drift charter boat. The Captain, Ashley and Nick were the best. I have gone on many fishing charter boats, but I must say this was one of the best. They were very friendly and helpful. The Captain did everything possible so everyone could catch fish. I will definitely return soon and bring a group of fiends. The price was so reasonable; $ 40.00 per person. Almost forgot… yes I did catch fish.

In Ft. Lauderdale on vacation. Found Catch My Drift online. Boat was clean, crew was super helpful and knowledgeable and to top it off the captain knew right where to put the boat for each drift. We caught countless yellowtail a kingfish and 2 large grouper. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. Reasonable prices and no stop action!

Went fishing had a great time Justin the first mate made my day times ten he is a must see next time I fish he will be the reason I return great great guy thank you JUSTIN love you

Been on this trip twice with friends that were visiting. Both were the Saturday night snapper trips. Both times there were 30 – 40 people on board. First trip 1 snapper was caught all night and second trip 3 were caught. I spoke with another family that has been out a few times (also with out-​of-​state guests) and they said about the same, 1 – 3 snapper per night for the whole boat. It’s not really a snapper trip. Grunts and squirrel fish were around but not in abundance.
The ride out and ride in are nice and I never had any trouble with the staff. You can bring your own drinks/​snacks. Out of state guests and kids seem to like it but anyone who fishes regularly or semi-​regularly will not.

This party boat bites and its not the fish. Don’t believe the hype this company tries to project on facebook. The day before my friends and I went out on this boat they were proclaiming that Snapper were basically jumping in the boat at night. The boat had about 40 people on it and there was about 1 snapper caught and the rest were grunts. big surprise… you can catch grunts anywhere. The bait and poles they provide you is junk and you have to ask them repeatedly to restock your bait. There is some little kid that’s a mate on the boat and he’s over the top annoying. I have been on many party boats north and south and never experienced mates like this. They dont really care too much about finding fish. The captain will sit in one spot getting 0 action for an hour. Most likely to preserve gas money and rob you blind. Do yourself a favor and navigate yourself away from this vessel and buy yourself a nice dinner at a seafood restaurant because you wont have anything to eat when you step off this boat. Catch my drift?

Went night fishing, we stopped at 3 spots, captain was sleeping and not paying attention, wouldn’t move despite zero bites. Our group of 9 caught 1 grunt. not worth the trip.

Took my kids fishing and we don’t have much experience. I asked the old fella about the check in discount thru Unilocal but he didn’t know what I was talking about. Oh well, still had a good time and the price was reasonable. Crew was helpful and worked off tips. We each caught two fish. One lady caught a dang barracuda! Overall great time!

Excellent crew who cater to first timers and children. We had a great time. at $ 40 per person you can’t beat the price. They have night fishing as well, but for new and young fishermen, take the four hour morning trip.

TIP: Use your Unilocal check-​in for a $ 5 discount!!!
Catch My Drift is an 85 foot boat, the larger of two drift fishing boats operated through Fishing Headquarters (
) with home port dock located at 301 Seabreeze Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale.
Along with their other drift fishing boat, Mary B III (
), it has daily 7 day week schedule of 4 hour, $ 40 for adults, $ 30 for children plus a Saturday Night 7:30 PM to 1:30 AM $ 50 for Adults, $ 40 for Kids, night anchor fishing trip.
Which boat you get on daily day trips usually depends upon the size of the fishing group, however Catch My Drift is generally used for the Saturday Night anchor fishing.
I’ve been aboard both Mary B III and Catch My Drift and would recommend, if you have any choice, to go aboard Catch My Drift as it is the larger, more roomy of the two and, accordingly, handles the seas significantly better with a lot less bobbing around.
The crews aboard the boats generally interchange and are among the most helpful, considerate, and knowledgeable of any drift boat crews I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. They also know which fish are considered to be poisonous, have venomous spines or those that you just don’t want to have get anywhere near to you. But better yet, is that they’re sincerely motivated, in to what they are doing and sort of really get into the fun of your fishing adventure.
Another good thing I’ve noticed is that unlike some other drift fishing boats, I’ve really never had to put up with anyone overindulging or getting drunk. Trust me on this point, I’ve experienced what it is like to be in close quarters aboard a boat with overindulging drunks, sharp hooks along with the resultant of them tossing their guts out and puking all over the place, which to say the least, doesn’t paint a pretty picture.
On the other hand, though I’m not much of a beer drinker, there is no way I can fish without beer so I’m not a teetotaler prude about the matter. I do like my drinking too plus the fact that they don’t do cooler checks or have any of that you must buy aboard the boat crap. And, when your fishing is done, the crew cleans you catch at no additional cost though generous tips are of course most appreciated.
